We analyzed rates of IAN damage by using some clinical neurosensory at least 12 months after surgery testing lower lip and chin area residual sensitivity for each group. We also analyzed patients' quality of life after chin wing osteotomy by using a subjective questionnaire and life quality questionnaire (OHIP-14) administered at the patient's 1 year follow up appointment.
